has it been done before? if yes any pics?...if not could it be done, with a retic male and a motoro female?
 
never heard, guess anything is possible. probably not gonna come out pretty if it does happen. GL
 
the point is that it would be something different and i will have the 2 sp. breeding for me and i have never seen this cross...now also would a male motoro be to large and agressive to breed with a female retic?

never know...i really like the retics pattern and the motoros so a mix could be interesting and unique...

Thats almost gauranteed death for the female retic. If you're really going to attempt this, stick with the male retic and female motoro, you have a much better success rate with this combination. Also, if this does work, you might be able to produce a dwarf variant even smaller than a retic. From what I have read on tiger/lion hybrids, whenever they tried a male tiger and a female lion, the outcome always came out smaller than both parents becuase the male (tiger) was naturally smaller than the female (lion).

thats what i figured on the female retic...the dwarf would be cool, it would be even better if the pattern would be nice...never can have to many smaller rays...as space could be and is an iussue for some...

Exactly, if this does somehow turn out into a dwarf variant, I wonder how 2 naturally dwarf species would turn out.
